The Lewisburg Chronicle has
unique way of illustrating one kind OF
religion and cutely leaves its readers to
perez i've that there Is another and bet
ter sort Of religion. Thus
John Wanamaker is superintendent
Of the biggest Sunday school In Phila-
delphia. That's good. AndJohn Wan
amaker Is heavy stakeholder In the l..
Il II. railroad company, and that com
pany keeps thousands of men on the
go, every Sunday, with never chance
to go to church, or Sunday school.
That's bad. And John Wanamaker is
only one out of thousands of such
goody- -goody men who are ever so good
To themselves so long ms money ST realms
into their clothes seven days In the
week. All this may be right, but, It's
funny.
